The Scottish wedding bagpiper creates a lively happy atmosphere.
Whether a Church, Registry, or a civil wedding. I know that your guests and friends will talk about
this for a long time. (I know this to be true by the large amount of
thank you cards, Tel: calls and e-mails I receive after the wedding
day).

I can make your day even more SPECIAL by any or all of the
following:-

ENTERTAIN your party of guests before you arrive, and then escort
you into church.PLAY inside the church during the signing of the register.PLAY your guests, yourself and groom out of the church following
the ceremony.MEET you at the reception to play for the guests and escort you
to your top table.PROVIDE entertainment at an evening reception.

I have played at York
Minster, Ampleforth Abbey, Ripon, Durham Cathedral's and the Houses of
Parliament. I have played for Sir, Gordon Banks, Ian. St. John, Nobby
Styles, Robson Green, Tony Blair, and the H.R.H.Duke and Duchess of Kent. I
was lucky enough to be chosen by the BBC to play for their Politics show
in Scotland.

I can provide you with a first class drummer
for your wedding and a Ceilidh Band with a caller for your reception if required.

We just wanted to drop
you a little note with a Huge thank you inside it!!
You helped make our wedding day so very special. When I think of the
pipes. I still get "goose bumps!"

You sounded fantastic!

Thanks once again,
lots of love.

Nicol and Chris

P.S. The cheeky
"smile" was a crowd pleaser!

Dear Derek,

Thank you very much
for playing the Bagpipes at our wedding at Durham Castle in December,
You helped to make the whole occasion and experience even more unique
and enjoyable.

A lot of guests have
commented to us on how atmospheric the pipes made their experience of
the castle. They have also remarked how special if was to be piped over
the bridge from the church to the castle itself. This was certainly one
of the highlights from the day for Lee and I.

We hope you had a pleasant
Christmas and wish you all the best for next year.

Yours, Rob & lee.

Durham.

To Derek,

I would just like to
thank you on behalf of Laura and myself for your fantastic performance
at our Wedding. Your 'Highland Cathedral made the hairs stand up on my
neck and your pipes kept people well entertained throughout the day!

The wonderful tunes
you and your pipes produced certainly made a difference and became an
integral part of our special day! You get my strongest recommendation!

Thanks for
everything!!!!

PS. Could you email
the words of the verse you gave us just before we walked down the
staircase. It was a nice touch but I can't remember what you said!

Thanks Matt Whitfield.

A
keen Scottish rugby supporter was watching a match against England at Murrayfield. Beside him was the only empty seat in the entire stadium.
"Whose seat is that?" asked the man on the other side.
"It's my wifes" But why isnt she here? "She's
dead" Well, why didnt you give the
ticket to one of your friends?" "They are all at the
funeral".

How wise I am to have instructed the butler to
instruct the first footman to instruct the second footman to instruct
the doorman to order my carriage: I am about to volunteer a definition
of marriage. Just as I know that there are two Hagens, Walter and Copen,
I know that marriage is a legal and religious alliance entered into by a
man who can't sleep with the window shut and a woman who can't sleep
with the window open. Moreover, just as I am unsure of the difference
between flora and fauna and flotsam and jetsam, I am quite sure that
marriage is the alliance of two people one of whom never remembers
birthdays and the other never forgets them, And he refuses to believe
there is a leak in the water pipe or the gas pipe and she is convinced
she is about to asphyxiate or drown, And she says "Quick get up and
get my hairbrushes off the windowsill, it's raining in," and he
replies "Oh they're all right, it's only raining straight
down."

That is why marriage is so much more interesting than
divorce, Because it's the only know example of the happy meeting of the
immovable object and the irresistible force. So I hope husbands and
wives will continue to debate and combat over everything debatable and
combatable. Because I believe a little incompatibility is the spice of
life, particularly if he has income and she is pattable.

Q.
What's the difference between a dead snake in the road and a dead
Bagpiper in the road?

Skid Marks in front of the snake.

This day
I will marry my friend, the one I laugh with, live for, dream with and
love.
